So whats a Watt
So what is a Watt, well in the International System of Units, it is a derived unit of power; the power of a system in which one joule of energy is transferred per second. Symbol: W. Okay got that? right moving along….
For the rest of us its a measure of how much energy it takes to run something be it a computer, hair dryer or an electric light bulb. The higher the wattage the more energy it will use. So the lower the wattage the less energy it uses so the less it costs us to run it.
With traditional bulbs the wattage is used as a gauge to how bright the bulb is. Whats amazing with LED light bulbs is they are a lot more efficient at converting to electricity to light. A traditional bulb wastes about 97% of its energy producing heat. A CFL about 90%
This is why LED light bulbs are such energy and cost savers : an LED bulb rated at 5 watts is gives out the same amount of light as a CFL bulb rated at 16 watts and the same as a traditional bulb rated at 60 watts. The plucky little led uses 92% less energy than the traditional bulb. Which is great for the environment and great for your wallet.
Next time LED Lighting will be looking at some real world figures including initial costs, life span of the bulbs and see who wins in a battle royal of LED V CFL V Traditional bulbs

Originally developed over 40 years ago and first years commercially as indicator lights in electronic components, LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes have come a long way to where they are now being touted as the light source of the future due to their high efficiency, compact size and durable construction.
In our ever-growing need for energy efficiency in everything from autos to light bulbs, more and more research is being put into the technology of LEDs. In the past few years, LEDs have gradually replaced incandescent and fluorescent bulbs in many applications, including traffic lights, flashlights and reading lamps. While compact fluorescent bulbs are still the best choice for cost-effective energy efficiency, LEDs are rapidly rising as the newest contender on the market.
LEDs are becoming increasingly popular and more high-quality LED lighting products are being manufactured and sold. For a number of reasons, including energy-efficiency, LED lighting is an attractive alternative to incandescent or fluorescent lighting in both residential and commercial lighting applications. Here are 10 things that you should know about this newly-emerging light source.
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are becoming far more common for indoor lighting solutions due to their human and environmental safety, cost, and longevity. Here are 11 ways you'll save energy and money by switching to LED.
LED light bulbs have been in the limelight in recent years as more consumers try to use less energy. But are LEDs the best way to cut electricity use for a given amount of money? Are LED lights truly ready for the major leagues?
Most people don't spend a lot of time thinking about lighting and its associated energy costs in their homes or businesses, but that would change quickly if they knew the benefits and savings provided by energy efficient lighting found on the market today. Enter the LED downlight, one of the best LED lighting solutions available and a prime example of how LED lighting is going to revolutionize the lighting industry.
Light Bulbs…we all need them, but what about all the differences? How confusing are all the options! Remember when you went to the grocery store and there were only 3 types of bread; there was white, wheat and rye? Now, how many different types of bread are available to you at the grocery store? Maybe, 10 times those original 3 types? Well, that is the same pathway of the light bulb.
